Mama, tell you children not to go, down to the City
Where the desperate people go
And mama, don't you let them stray
They won't find a piece of mind in such a lonely place
Wannabees and losers, all trying to get a break
They don't give a damn, they'll do whatever it takes
If they climb the ladder, they get to play by higher stakes
That's why there's low life in high places
Mama, things have changed since you were young
When you scream in the dead of night, no one ever comes
And a poor man, he's cast as the villain and the thief
You see him down on the street, begging for enough to eat
Waiting on a corner, I saw her waiting for the man
When the Limo pulled up, I saw what was changing hand
I should've tried to warn her, and make her understand
There is low life in high places
There is low life, like you never even knew
There is low life, and it lives in me and you
But we don't all let it thru, oh
Don't you let 'em go
You've gotta have some pitty, yeah
Don't you let 'em go
Uh, gotta keep 'em away from the big bad City
Waiting on a corner, I saw her waiting for the man
When the Limo pulled up, I saw what was changing hand
I should've tried to warn her, and make her understand
Mama, tell you children not to go, down to the City
Where the desperate people go
And mama, don't you let them stray, they won't find a piece of mind in such a lonely place
